Item of the Day: Bill Blass Penny Sutton Boot

Luxe materials—velvet, lace, satin—will be huge for fall footwear. Bill Blass takes this trend to the next level with the Penny Sutton Boot, a utilitarian spin on sumptuous velvet.

A fun transition into fall, the double-eyelet closure features ribbon lacing for a ladylike touch while a flatform outsole lends an added boost in height. The result is an instantly versatile statement piece perfect to pair with jeans or dresses throughout the season.
